Figaro Ear Hat

This charming pin features Figaro, the beloved black-and-white tuxedo cat from the 1940 Disney classic 'Pinocchio', depicted wearing a stylized Mickey Mouse ear hat. Released as part of the 2024 Hidden Disney series, this pin is an Open Edition (OE) collectible found at both Disneyland Resort (DLR) and Walt Disney World (WDW). The design captures Figaro's playful, wide-eyed expression and distinctive striped appearance, making him a perennial favorite among Disney sidekick collectors. As part of the Hidden Disney series, these pins were originally distributed through blind-bag mystery pouches or as Cast Member (CM) lanyard pins, which adds an element of the hunt that collectors find particularly engaging. The ear hat element is a staple of Disney park iconography, and when combined with popular characters like Figaro, it creates a highly sought-after aesthetic for collectors. Because this is an Open Edition (OE) release, it is more accessible than limited releases, yet it remains popular due to the character's enduring charm. Figaro, who also famously appeared in several 'Silly Symphonies' shorts, remains a central figure in the Disney animation canon. This pin serves as a perfect entry-level piece for new collectors or a delightful addition for those specializing in cat-themed or sidekick-focused collections. The overall craftsmanship reflects the high quality expected from modern Disney park pin releases.
